Since the inception of the World Wide Web, online games have
been popular. Enthusiasts have embraced everything from online
gambling to the Sims and have spent hours playing games either
alone or in virtual communities. Sports enthusiasts have carved
out their own niche on the Web, with fantasy football and
baseball leagues and all types of sports-related online games.
More recently, online golf games have risen in popularity. This
could be due to the fact that general interest in the game has
risen recently. Although phenom Tiger Woods may not make
headline news as he did a few years back, Michelle Wie has taken
his place while re-energizing professional golf. The six-foot
tall 16-year-old, a native of Hawaii, made news when she turned
pro in 2005, then again when she narrowly missed the cut against
the men in the Casio World Open.
The beauty of golf is that you don't have to be a pro to enjoy
the game. Walking the course, hitting buckets of balls on the
driving range, and practicing on the putting green is just as
satisfying as playing a round.
When the weather turns inclement, it doesn't mean that you can't
roam the course and play eighteen holes from the comfort of your
own home. Free online golf games are available at a number of
websites, and have a number of features in common. Most free
golf games allow you to play at the amateur or professional
level (the difference often being how you use the mouse to
control your swing), and offer you the choice to play alone or
play with a group. Many online games allow you to create a
private group so that you can play with friends, family, or
duffers you've met online. You can also join a group of online
players and make new friends in the process.
Online golf games generally offer you the opportunity to chat in
real time with other players and to play in live online golf
tournaments. Some even give away cash and prizes to players who
do well.
